Abstract

Disclosed herein are a system and apparatus for loading data storage disks (e.g. rigid optical disks) onto a spindle assembly for rotation relative to a write/read head. The system is characterized by a disk carrier which is adapted to releasably capture a disk, and apparatus for releasing and separating the disk from the carrier so that the disk can be rotated in a plane spaced from the carrier plane. Such apparatus comprises carrier support means for supporting a disk-capturing carrier in a predetermined plane, disk release means, cooperatable with disk latching members of the carrier, for releasing a disk from the carrier, disk support means for supporting a released disk in the plane of the carrier, and means for imparting relative movement between the carrier support means and the disk support means to locate the disk in a desired plane of rotation, and to locate the carrier in a plane spaced therefrom.
